Sending a Stream to a Send Bus
To send a Stream to a Send Bus:
1.
In your digital audio software, assign one or more audio tracks to a Stream
output.
Some digital audio software includes a mixer with send busses, and allows the
send busses to be assigned directly to an output. In this case, you can assign a send
in the digital audio software to feed directly into an OASYS PCI Stream.
1.
In the OASYS PCI Editor, open the Send Busses window, by selecting it
from the Windows menu.
2.
Set the Send Bus’s Stream In parameter to the desired Stream.
The Stream will now be routed to the Send Bus.
Note that while Mixer Channels can only send mono signals to a Send Bus, Stream
inputs can be either mono or stereo. Using a stereo Stream input takes up an
additional physical bus on the DSPs, so you should do this only when you actually
need a stereo send.
Using Send Busses to conserve DSP resources
If several Channels are using a similar Insert Effect, such as a hall reverb, it may
make sense for the Channels to share a common reverb via a Send Bus instead. This
will free up DSP resources, which can then be used in other ways. To set up several
Channels to share a reverb:
1.
Choose the Insert Effect reverb you like best, and use the Edit menu Cut
command to remove if from the channel.
2.
Remove the other Insert Effect reverbs using the Delete key.
This will leave the favorite reverb on the clipboard, ready to paste into the Send
Bus.
3.
Paste the favorite reverb into a Send Bus.
4.
Use the Mixer Sends to route the Channels to the Send Bus. Adjust the Send
levels as desired.
Using Output Bus Effects
Sharing Insert Effects between two or more Channels
You can use Output Busses to process two or more Mixer Channels through the
same set of Insert Effects. For instance, you might wish to run several drum
Programs through the same compressor, or apply an overall EQ. To do this:
1.
Use the Output parameter to assign the Mixer Channels to the same Output
Bus.
Unless you want to apply the same Effects to
all
Mixer Channels, use an Output Bus
other than the Master Output.
